Chapter 121 An Epic Beast Galloping Across the Sea!
Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro scoffed at this!
"Mr. Secretary of State Jack, God is on our side this time!"
"When we launched our siege on the Chinese submarine, we discovered that they had just surfaced to replenish their oxygen!"
"Furthermore, we didn't give them much time to replenish; the oxygen levels in the submarine must be very low now!"
"They were constantly searching for a breakthrough earlier, and our communication devices detected that he released communication signals multiple times; they are clearly desperate!"
Speaking of this, Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro paused, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"Besides, we are in international waters now, and there are no warships of theirs nearby. Unless their speed can reach 100 knots, they won't be able to wait for reinforcements!"
Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro is one of Japan's top-tier commanders!
He possesses keen insight and judgment, and has always been the one the navy relies on most!
He once claimed that he was born in the wrong era!
If he could have been born during the War of Resistance, he believed he could have rewritten the history of defeat!
After receiving his affirmative answer, the US Secretary of State smiled with satisfaction:
"Very good! You have done a great job!"
"After this is accomplished, in the next Japanese election, we will definitely strongly recommend you to become the new leader of Japan!"
"We also need a smart person to strengthen the relationship between our two countries!"
Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro sat up straight abruptly and bowed solemnly towards the microphone: "I am deeply grateful!"
Subsequently, the US Secretary of State hung up the phone.
Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro rubbed his hands together with delight!
The Japanese election is coming up soon, and with the support of the USA, his competitiveness will definitely receive an epic boost!
It is even possible that he could actually sit in that position!
Thinking of this, he dared not let anything go wrong!
He checked the time and then asked his subordinate:
"What is the current situation with the Chinese submarine?"
The subordinate had been staring at the radar and shook his head helplessly:
"Reporting, Commander, the Chinese submarine is still the same as before!"
"They are deep underwater and still show no signs of surfacing!"
Hearing this, Commander-in-Chief Koizumi Ichiro couldn't help but curse:
"Damn Chinese, they are so stubborn!"
"They still won't surface at this point?"
"Do they really want to suffocate inside the submarine?"
...
Submarine 304.
They had already prepared for sacrifice here, but unexpectedly, the communicator received a response again within a range of dozens of nautical miles!
And the one that responded to them this time was actually the longwei warship, which was still hundreds of nautical miles away not long ago!
This speed was unimaginably fast!
It completely baffled Zhou Haicheng!
"Chief Su Chen, the coordinate position you gave us earlier was clearly still over two hundred nautical miles away!"
"It has been at most an hour, and you are already only eighty nautical miles away from us!"
"How could you be so fast?????"
This speed is about to reach 120 knots!
And soon, he seemed to realize something!
As everyone knows, the larger the displacement of a warship, the slower its speed generally is!
Some ships with a displacement of a few hundred tons can reach a speed of 60 knots, and this is generally the fastest speed for such vessels!
For large destroyers like the 055 with a displacement of ten thousand tons, the speed is only 30-35 knots!
But among large destroyers, that is considered quite fast!
And Su Chen's speed is about to reach 120 knots...
"Chief Su Chen, is the... vessel you are using to support us a small ship?"
Zhou Haicheng's initial excitement gradually calmed down.
Until Su Chen's voice sounded: "A displacement of one hundred thousand tons... that shouldn't count as a small ship, right!"
Boom!!!!!
Hearing Su Chen's words, Zhou Haicheng was completely stunned!
One hundred thousand tons????
He was sure he hadn't misheard!
What Su Chen said was one hundred thousand tons!
This terrifying data made his scalp tingle, and he almost turned to stone!
You must know that China's current largest FJ aircraft carrier does not have a displacement of one hundred thousand tons, but about eighty thousand tons!
And Su Chen actually said that his longwei warship has a displacement of one hundred thousand tons!
"Chief Su Chen, are you not joking?"
"Does China already have a ten-thousand-ton class warship?" He still found it hard to believe!
Although he hadn't been ashore for a long time, he was aware of the situation in the navy!
The new aircraft carrier hadn't been launched long ago, and the country already had another super warship!
This made him feel very incredible!
"Zhou Haicheng, you did not mishear!"
"Our longwei warship is indeed a super warship with a displacement of one hundred thousand tons!"
General Zhao Yong's voice suddenly sounded!
Zhou Haicheng didn't know Su Chen very well and might have thought Su Chen was joking with him, but General Zhao Yong was his actual direct superior!
He definitely wouldn't joke with him!
Confirming that the country had really built a super warship, Zhou Haicheng, as a navy man, was genuinely excited!
He told his subordinate to pass this news to the crew members so that they could be happy too!
The originally heavy atmosphere inside the submarine suddenly had a bit more vitality!
But at this moment, Zhou Haicheng suddenly thought of something, and was even more shocked.
"Chief, how can a ten-thousand-ton warship be that fast?"
General Zhao Yong chuckled: "Why can't it be that fast?"
"This is our newly developed next-generation warship!"
"Not only is it fast, but its combat capability is also astonishing!"
"Do you want to see it with your own eyes?"
Does that even need to be asked?
"Of course I do!" Zhou Haicheng said excitedly.
General Zhao Yong's voice suddenly became serious: "If you do, then hold on until we rescue you!"
"We are rushing over at full speed!"
"I order you to hold on until we arrive!"
Zhou Haicheng looked at the remaining oxygen, not knowing if the minimal oxygen content could last until that time!
But he still firmly said: "Yes! All crew members of Submarine 304 will definitely wait for your aid!"
Just after finishing, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask a very crucial question.
"By the way, Chief, how many warships are coming over!"
General Zhao Yong: "Of course, only one!"
One... Zhou Haicheng's heart sank abruptly!
He had just accepted the order to hold on until they rescued them! And it turned out there was only one!
How could one be enough? No! Absolutely cannot let them come over! This is too dangerous!
So even if it meant disobeying orders, Zhou Haicheng still tried to stop them: "Chief, you should turn back quickly!"
"Japan has dispatched sixteen warships, and many of them are large destroyers!"
"One of our warships is no match for them!"
At this moment, Su Chen's voice sounded again, with an unquestionable tone: "Captain Zhou Haicheng, we cannot turn back!"
"Please prepare to be rescued!"
